The student handshake phase is a digital handshake designed to build relationships among project participants, who many live in diverse areas, embrace different cultures, or speak different languages. The digital handshake could be an exchange of videos, emails, Skype calls (or any other VOIP), or a Voice Thread. These asynchronous tools allow students to break the ice and start learning together without being in the same room at the same time.
Ideas taken from Boss, S., & Krauss, J. (2014).Reinventing project-based learning: Your field guide to real-world projects in the digital age.
